In my mind and my heart, I feel like I'm the better player. But I feel like I'm better than anybody who ever played the game, but that's just how it is, that's the only way you can succeed. And in his mind, he (Jackson) feels like he's the better player and the best player who has ever played the position. You have to have that attitude to succeed, but you can't have the ego to the point where you don't understand how him starting and me playing the role helps the team.
What's a store with food in it if you don't have food? What's a store with fresh water if you don't have water? What are you supposed to do?
You have to understand that although it's a game and it's my career and it's my life and it provides a living for me and my family, it's a business to the people who own it.
When you lose your starting quarterback, your chances aren't good. For Marc to go down on that play, it's like a double whammy right there. But things happen in this game.
Everything is out and people are going into survivor mode,
When we need those plays, both on offense and defense, they're coming through,'' Rams quarterback Marc Bulger said.
One of my brothers is fine. I just haven't heard from my (two) other brothers and the rest of my family - aunts, uncles, cousins. I haven't heard from anyone,
There are people who grew up in rough environments, and you just don't hear about it. And they make it in business. They're doctors. They're lawyers. But we're not talking about that. I don't think that makes me what I am. What makes me what I am is that you have success, but you keep your head on straight and you make the right decisions in life.
Our relationship is really good. It's positive. There's no strains in it. And I foresee it being the same way as we go on. Coach (Martz) has done a good job of letting us know our roles so it's fairly simple and there's no complications.
Some of us have been here before, and some of us haven't. And the guys who have, we've got to take responsibility for the other guys who haven't and let them know it doesn't stop here.
I think it's unfair to even speculate on any decision because I haven't made one. Honestly, I haven't given any thought to that.
I think that sometimes the whole upbringing thing, people want to make a story out of it,
I was probably being a little paranoid, ... In past years I would've worked through something like that and kept right on pushing ahead. But I'm just so excited about this season -- I just want everything to be perfect, because I think it can be a special year for us -- and I want to make extra sure that nothing slows me down.
I think that in a sense you just have to be honest with yourself and what you can and can't do and understand what you want to get out of this game and what you want to do. And I want to win. My personal accomplishments aren't as important to me; winning is. I think the combination of myself and Steven gives us, as a team, a better opportunity to win. With the work that he's going to put in, he deserves to be the starter.
